Excerpt from London: Its Origin and Early Development
The chapter on the Sokes of London is based upon an article which I contributed to the Nineteenth Century and After, and I have to thank the editor and proprietors of that magazine for permission to adapt the article to its present use, and for leave to reproduce the sketch map which accompanied it.
